427: Best of the Month
After the game between the Grizzlies and the Lakers, the Los Angeles media was completely blown up.
Link's speech in an interview after the game completely angered the media that longed for the Lakers to win.
If Link fights with them directly, they have a reason to fight back. But after Link says so much, the media doesn't even know what to say when they fight back.
"It's so arrogant. I know that the Grizzlies have excellent record recently. They have played 10 wins and 1 loss so far, and are the best in the league. But even if they win the game, Link must at least show the most basic respect."
"Bryant Bryant is one of the greatest players in the league. He has won more games than Link has played in all the games combined. This is just one game, and he is too proud."
"Bryant Bryant scored 42 points, leading the Lakers to tie the score when they were so much behind at the beginning. In other words, Kobe was only one goal away from winning. Judging from his personal performance, Kobe was even better. Link was just lucky to score the last goal, and he had nothing to show off."
These media all regarded Kobe as the protagonist before the game started, but the protagonist was beaten to death. How could they not be angry? It was like when you went to a cinema to watch a movie. From the beginning, you hoped that the protagonist could go through many difficulties and achieve his goal, but in the end he was shot to death by the villain, and all the previous efforts were wasted. Seeing this, someone probably wanted to smash the cinema.
The Los Angeles media is in this state now, but with the public opinion trend that the whole world is praising Link, the Los Angeles media have made this happen, which gives people a feeling that they can't afford to lose.
"Link neither used dirty moves nor took advantage of the referee. He defeated the Lakers and Kobe with his hard power, so he does have arrogant capital."
"That's definitely the most exciting finale this season so far, no doubt! If even this cannot win respect, why should Link care about those who don't respect him anyway?"
This time, except for the Los Angeles media, other media outlets supported Link.
Seeing the Los Angeles media being dissatisfied with losing and unable to get rid of themselves, Link was quite proud. This is what he wanted. Now, you should know how to ask the home team questions when you come to the Federal Express Arena in the future!
Those Los Angeles media that are always arrogant should be cleaned up long ago.
And in all these reports, Link's favorite is the new nickname superstar killer that t.nt gave him.
"Link is simply a great devil who no hero wants to meet. Anyone who dares to break into his territory will be punished. James, Durant, Anthony, and another Kobe yesterday. Let's see who will become Link's next prey."
Overall, this game finally made Link recognized by everyone. Now, no one will say that Link's execution ability is not good at critical moments.
Even Kobe, who lost to Link, sent a text message to Link after the game, "I played well today, keep it up. Of course, don't be complacent about the victory of a game, continue to motivate yourself, come on."
Looking at Kobe's text message, Link was extremely relieved. Getting his opponent's recognition was the most fulfilling thing.
In such a bad mood, he can still recognize his opponent's strength. Link thought, this might be the so-called general's style.
However, even without Kobe's reminder, Link knew what he should do now. After two years of transformation, the Grizzlies' goal is no longer as simple as winning a game.
Grizzlies' new owner Pera also said at a regular press conference the next day, "Our goal this season is to hit higher honors and win a banner of honor for the Federal Express Arena. Now, the plan has just begun."
When the young and kind Pera said this, the bosses of the other 30 teams knew that this young guy was not a joke.
So in the remaining three games in November, the Grizzlies did not lose all their victory and easily won all their victories.
Facing the Cavaliers who were injured on November 26, the Grizzlies continued to implement their principle of "checking in and getting off work in three quarters". The Cavaliers had no power to fight back in the whole game, and could not even find a reliable offensive point.
"Brazil's Best Actor" Anderson Valaijo is already the Cavaliers' highest scorer, and he scored 15 points. This shows how shabby the Cavaliers' offense is less than Irving's.
In the end, the Cavaliers only scored 78 points in the whole game. In this era, it was incredible that they scored less than 80 points in a single game.
100-78, the Grizzlies easily won the Cavaliers at home. Link scored 25 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists, and the Grizzlies' unbeaten home myth continues.
On the 28th, the Grizzlies played against the only Raptors in the animal team at home that could not find a living creature. This season, the Raptors finally welcomed the Lithuanian center Valanciunas they had been looking forward to. Then, they also got Kyle Lowry, who became famous in the Rockets.
But it is obvious that the Raptors are still accumulating talent. The Raptors' record of 3 wins and 12 losses this season is really eye-catching. Their losses are more than the Grizzlies.
Faced with such an opponent, the Grizzlies were not ruthless. Link scored 26 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists, while the Grizzlies scored in double digits. 103 to 82, and the Raptors lost 21 points!
On November 30, facing his last opponent in November, the Detroit Pistons, Link scored 28 points to Kyle Singler, who had just entered the league, who was known as the "Golden Bomber", and was doubtful in his life.
In the whole game, Singler made 0 of 7 shots and was blocked by Link. The Pistons' shooting percentage was only 40%. The Grizzlies' defense was a bit too strong for this iron-blooded army, which was once known for its defense.
102 to 78, after continuing the Cavaliers, another team scored no more than 80 on the Grizzlies' head. Wherever the Grizzlies go, they are destined to be cruel killing.
At this point, the Grizzlies' November game ended. They were proud of the entire league with a record of 13 wins and 1 loss!
Before the start of the season, no matter who you call to predict, he would never have thought that the Grizzlies could start with 13 wins and 1 losses. This team has never been so terrible since its establishment.
But the record of 13 wins and 1 loss is just the beginning. On the first day of December, the league officially announced the list of the best players in the East and West in November.
In the Eastern Conference, LeBron James, who averaged 25 points, 8.9 rebounds, 6.5 assists per game, and scored 11 wins and 3 losses, became the Eastern Conference Player of the Month in the first month of the new season.
In the West, a new face appeared. Link, who averaged 25.3 points, 5.5 assists and 6 rebounds per game, led the team to the league's best 13 wins and 1 loss, became the West's best player of the November Player of the Year!
This is also the first time that a Grizzlies player has won the best honor of the month after Zach Randolph in the previous season!
This time, Kevin Durant ranked second in the Western Conference Player of the Month. His average of 26 points, 4.4 assists and 5.1 rebounds per game is actually comparable to Link. But the team's 11 wins and 4 losses ultimately led Durant to lose.
After Link learned the news, he sighed deeply.
